In this episode, host Tan Deleon is joined by Sarah Maurer, professor of chemistry at Central Connecticut State University, to share insights into the work she is doing on the origins of life, why the public should be aware of abiotic vesicles, how artificial intelligence (AI) has accelerated the discovery and study of abiotic vesicles, and how Sarah knew she wanted to be a scientist while still in kindergarten (spoiler alert: Albert Einstein's hairstyle had something to do with it).
